By Josh Raisey
Can anyone stop Australia women winning a second title in two weeks? Can Ireland’s men go all the way? Will the Blitzboks break the Cape Town curse?

These are all questions being asked ahead of day two of the Cape Town SVNS.
After an opening day where the excitement on the pitch was matched by the fever pitch atmosphere in the stands and around Cape Town Stadium, day two promises to be just as entertaining, with some mouthwatering contests from the get-go.
With the unbeaten Ireland men’s team, who toppled South Africa in the final match of the day yesterday, facing New Zealand in the quarter-finals, the epic contests start early and promise to continue throughout the day.

The writer here ignores the fact that, following on from not taking the penalty kick, the All Blacks did manage to score a try a few minutes later. Not directly from the penalty awarded, but it is speculation to say that had they opted to take the koi they would have won. Even if they kicked it, which was no guarantee, they would still be trailing and would have had to start again at half-way.
